I also notice that in tasklist it shows 'share memory' and processes are actually sharing memory? What does that mean, I thought they were SIP? (sorry if that is a silly question.

How many hardware protection domains can you have, is there a limit depending on hardware?

Interns in MSR, what kind of intern gets to work on a project like this, is he or she a graduate or undergraduate intern, that would be very very cool project to work on for your summer!

What language is the Kernel written in, I thought it was C#, but that seems to be, may be way off here, managed C++.

One more question, do the apps compiled for the system run on both x86 and AMD64, or when an app is compiled is that it, it is completely and totally tied to that processor architecture. I think you answered this in the video, adn the answer was yes, sooooooo,
if thats the case, is Singulairty a 64-bit only OS?

About the UI: Singularity has a web server; couldn't they use the web server as an external UI? I think that would make it very easy, clicking hyperlinks instead of typing in commands. You can very quickly make a file explorer type of application for exploring
the file system, the processes, ...

ugg. Every try managing Windows server with the web admin? I think I used it once. I would much rather see a rich set of management endpoints exposed as web services or Indigo endpoints that a rich client could call.

Looking at your OS it seems like you guys are following great design path. You guys should definitely start looking into PowerShell integration as firstly PowerShell is based on .Net Framework and secondly it is also one of the innovative technologies
from Microsoft.

It would be really nice to call OS API from command line.

and whenever forget any command , then you can just type get-command *<keyword>* e.g get-command *kill*

I am a brazilian developer and I noticed a sign on the wall written in portuguese (it said "Respeite o turista" which means "Respect the tourist"). So, who brought that sign? I read on the Singurarity page that the team had an intern
from Campinas - SP - Brazil. Was he the one that placed that sign there?Anyways, great work.

There are several community managed operating system project around that you can look at:

JOS: Java based OS. It's on SourceForge.SharpOS: C# OS (The one I am working on), the kernel is written 100% in C# (don't flame me before you actually have a look at it). Also hosted on SourceForge. There is also ONE video on YouTube.SmallTalk: Has been around for decades. Pick your favourite one.

﻿Singularity is a kernel written in C#, not a shell. Although I can't see why they couldn't use the code from powershell once they have the code in the kernel nailed down and complete.

I'd prefer that they don't; PowerShell's design philosophies go in direct opposition against
Singularity's (and against .NET/Microsoft's in fact), namely in the fact that the PowerShell team carelessly encourages code to break down at runtime, and they don't honor very basic .NET
standards
such as Unicode for strings.

PowerShell Scripts continue to use ".PS1". ...You might write a .PS1 script which takes advantage of a cmdlet/feature that is only available in V2. If you send this to someone that has PS V1, it will fail "in some way and at some time".

Man, this project is a really cool thing but MS hasn't worked on it for several years. I think they should restart development, and I think it could become the next big thing.
